Discipleship Bases
사역지
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Work with and visit individual base leaders to provide them with the resources to evangelize and disciple NKs in China, Russia, SE Asia and wherever NKs are found. Resources include discipleship training materials, New Testaments, MP3 players, medicine and ministry packs. Our discipleship bases model tenets of Christian faith for trainees to repeat and replicate among their family members and friends.
“I’VE SEEN THAT BIBLE BEFORE!”
One of the most interesting experiences we have is when we run into NK defectors in South Korea with whom we have already ministered to in China.
This quarter, inside South Korea we ran into SR, a middle-aged woman who recently defected from NK after having lived in China for many years.
(Note: VOMK does not engage in or promote defections. But NK defectors whom we minister to in China and other countries sometimes decide on their own to defect by means other than VOMK’s ministry.)
SR receives a new NK Bible
SR was trafficked from NK to China when she was in her early twenties. She had two children with an ethnically Chinese man. Unfortunately, her husband was injured in the army and also had mental problems, making it difficult to raise the children well. SR’s husband told her to take the children to South Korea, and that is how she came here.
We met SR and were able to hear her life story. A VOMK staff member took out a North Korean language Bible to show her. SR responded, “I’ve seen that Bible before!”
SR shared with us that, when she was in China, she had a VOMK North Korean Bible. A person gave it to her about seven years ago in China, along with a cross necklace. When she left China, she brought the Bible with her.
On the defection route, she became very sick and had to leave the Bible behind with the people who helped her defect. They promised to mail it to her in South Korea but have not done so. After hearing her story, we decided to give her the NK Bible.
We give thanks to the Lord who has allowed us to reconnect with SR and who sent us to deliver the word of God to her again in her native language so that she would not be without it for long.
SR shows us the cross necklace she received in China.
